Well said Kurt! An interesting "rant" at 4.40am!
I don't have time to go through all my thoughts now as I am supposed to be sitting down to the first work emails of the day, but I must say that I see Sydney as somewhere in the middle on the global scale of "spotting/photography friendliness". There are other locations around the world that definitely are more friendly, but then there are those that make it almost impossible to take any photos.
I would say that I would be happy to pay a small mount for better facilities. As others have said there is a great observation deck at Frankfurt with an entry fee and yet it is always busy.
I agree that we should try to work constructively with SACL and want to thank Kurt for all his endeavours thus far. Let's try and work together to achieve what we want - there are some people at SACL who will support us, so let's not "shoot the messenger".
Cheers
Mark
